i would like to remove my luggage rack on my 69 but i don't want to fill any wholes or do anything permanent any creative ideas like maybe some type of polished fasteners may want to go to rack in future
I tried searching the archives for this topic because I seem to remember a recent thread about someone using chrome "buttons" to plug the holes. I couldn't find any threads and, unfortunately, I can't remember the source of the "buttons". Anyway, you're back TTT. Hopefully, someone else will remember.
Last year at Eckler's reunion there was a guy who had removed his rack and pushed in some painted button type inserts that really looked nice. I think you may find something like that at "surplus" shop. There is one place like that around here that has all sorts of neat stuff that you can't find elsewhere. :cheers:

Hi
Go to a Harley motorcycle shop.
They have chrome plug type screws in different sizes.
I used some on my byke to cover similar holes as the rack would leave.
This chrome plugs are very flush and should look good.
This is what I would do for sure.
Good luck.
